Download or read book Mexico in Verse written by Stephen Neufeld and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2015-03-26 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of Mexico is spoken in the voice of ordinary people. In rhymed verse and mariachi song, in letters of romance and whispered words in the cantina, the heart and soul of a nation is revealed in all its intimacy and authenticity. Mexico in Verse, edited by Stephen Neufeld and Michael Matthews, examines Mexican history through its poetry and music, the spoken and the written word. Focusing on modern Mexico, from 1840 to the 1980s, this volume examines the cultural venues in which people articulated their understanding of the social, political, and economic change they witnessed taking place during times of tremendous upheaval, such as the Mexican-American War, the Porfiriato, and the Mexican Revolution. The words of diverse peoples—people of the street, of the field, of the cantinas—reveal the development of the modern nation. Neufeld and Matthews have chosen sources so far unexplored by Mexicanist scholars in order to investigate the ways that individuals interpreted—whether resisting or reinforcing—official narratives about formative historical moments. The contributors offer new research that reveals how different social groups interpreted and understood the Mexican experience. The collected essays cover a wide range of topics: military life, railroad accidents, religious upheaval, children’s literature, alcohol consumption, and the 1985 earthquake. Each chapter provides a translated song or poem that encourages readers to participate in the interpretive practice of historical research and cultural scholarship. In this regard, Mexico in Verse serves both as a volume of collected essays and as a classroom-ready primary document reader.
Download or read book Your Ticket to Heaven Spanish Pack of 25 written by Sumner Wemp and published by Good News Publishers. This book was released on 2007-12 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Me permites ofrecerte un boleto al cielo? No tienes que pagarlo, y esa es una cosa muy ventajosa, porque jamAs tendrIas suficiente dinero para comprarlo Es gratis, pero solamente porque alguien ya muriO pagando asI su precio. Dios te ama y, ademAs de desear que tengas una vida llena de satisfacciOn sobre la tierra, tambiEn quiere que vivas con El eternamente en el cielo. El SeNor es quien te ofrece un boleto cabalmente pagado. Nadie quiere ir al infierno porque ahI no hay nada de gozo ni de placeres. Dios tampoco desea que alquien vaya a aquel lugar. La Biblia dice que Dios no quiere "que nadie perezca" (2 Pedro 3:9). Pero existe un problema con la adquisiciOn del boleto gratis. Todos hemos hecho alguna cosa mala--todos hemos pecado, no es cierto? La palabra de Dios dice, "Si afirmamos que no hemos pecado, lo hacemos pasar por mentiroso" (1 Juan 1:8). El pecado corrompe--nos ensucia y nos hace inadecuados para estar en la presencia de Dios en aquel lugar maravilloso y perfecto que llamamos el cielo. El pecado castiga--nos separa del Dios impecable, "Porque la paga del pecado es muerte" (Romanos 6:23). En pocas palabras, nuestra pecaminosidad impide la entrega del boleto que necesitamos para poder entrar al cielo QuiEn me lo pagO? Pero, la historia no termina ahI AUn hay buenas nuevas Jesucristo, el Hijo de Dios, vino a la tierra para nacer y vivir su vida sin pecado. El "muriO por los nuestros] pecados, el justo por los injustos todos nosotros ], a fin de llevarlos a ustedes a Dios" (1 Pedro 3:18). Cuando Dios "hizo recaer El sobre la iniquidad de todos nosotros" (IsaIas 53:6), JesUs clamO, "Dios mIo, Dios mIo, por quE me has desamparado?" (Marcos 15:34). La respuesta es sencilla y a la vez profunda. JesUs fue separado de Dios porque El tomO tu lugar y el mIo sobre la cruz, y por medio de la muerte El pagO la "paga" cabal que nuestros pecados merecIan. Entonces El resucitO de entre los muertos, fue visto por centenares de personas y hoy vive para que tU puedas conocerlo y recibir el regalo de la vida eterna--tu boleto al cielo. Esto es la pura verdad La Biblia declara, "Mas a cuantos lo recibieron a JesUs], a los que creen en su nombre, les dio el derecho de ser hijos de Dios" (Juan 1:12). QuE fantAstico TU puedes llegar a ser una persona "nueva"--nacida de Dios--y comenzar a vivir una vida completamente nueva que agrade a Dios. Y, por supuesto, todos los hijos de Dios tienen un boleto al cielo Lo quieres? No es por casualidad que se te ofreciO un boleto al cielo. Dios mismo ha hecho todos los arreglos para que tU puedas aceptarlo. La pregunta clave que determina todo es, JesUs pagO por todos tus pecados o no? Dios dice que sI lo hizo. ConfIa en Dios que asI es. "El que cree en el Hijo de Dios] tiene vida eterna" (Juan 3:36). AsI como un hombre dice, "SI, acepto a esta mujer para que sea mi esposa," asimismo Dios quiere que tU le digas, "SI, acepto a JesUs para que sea mi Salvador. Creo que El es el Unico camino al cielo." La Biblia afirma, "El que tiene al Hijo JesUs], tiene la vida" (1 Juan 5:12). Si crees que el camino divinamente establecido para ir al cielo es el Unico camino, puedes "reclamar tu boleto" diciEndole a Dios palabras semejantes a Estas: Amado Dios, yo he pecado. SE que te he ofendido de muchas maneras. Lo siento mucho. Creo que JesUs padeciO y muriO por mis pecados, pagO cabalmente la deuda ocasionada por ellos y resucitO de entre los muertos. JesUs, creo en ti y te doy gracias por todo lo que has hecho por mI. Te pido que me salves del castigo de mis pecados, y que me des el nuevo nacimiento y el poder para vivir por ti. Gracias por esta invitaciOn a pasar la eternidad contigo Recuerda lo que afirma Juan 3:36: "El que cree en el Hijo tiene vida eterna." Ahora mismo crees en JesUs como tu salvador, tu Unico "boleto al cielo?" Posees la vida eterna que Dios te prometiO?
